I did some looking around last night and found a site calle hidemyass.com.

They let you pay by the month via PayPal and give you the option of automatic
charges or not.

So I signed up for one month without renewal.

I am running Leopard, and don't want to install anything, so I used their
PPTP option. 

You open the network control panel and add a new VPN with PPTP. In 5
minutes I was watching the BBC. 

The PPTP option requires you to choose a server to use (their software
finds one for you), so I set up connections to the US and the UK.

I was also able to watch videos from Hulu using the US server.

In 1969 the US could put a man on the moon, now teenagers just howl at it. :-(
